Hello,

thank you very much for this nice software. It is running great but I have small problem to set up correct camera resolutions.

I use a Ituner Spectra 8 - Video Card and some different cameras. Problem is to set higher resolutions than 320x240. In different software (for example "Motion") I can use 720x576 PAL resolution without changing anything. I use debian etch with self compiled but very close to standard debian 2.6.15 Kernel.

In zoneminder is everything higher than 320x240 not possible. If I use zmu to query my video device it will say me that max resolution is 924x576. But what meens windows attributes with 320x240 or how can I change this.

Many greetings

cactus.

Make sure you restart ZM fully if you are increasing capture sizes. This is especially the case if you are getting messages about shared memory. If not what errors do you see?

Hello Phil,

thank you very much for your fast answer. You are right, I didn´t restart zoneminder before.

Now this will work if I make a restart of zoneminder after changing camera/monitor settings. It is working fine.

Many thanks and greetings
